Tactical Kung Fu and MMAA (our home for four years) is holding a fundraiser for a cancer charity.
"October is the breast cancer awareness month and this year we’re starting early so we’ll be sure to have our Pink gear during October. Even though the color Pink and October are reserved for breast cancer, we know that ALL cancers suck! So your donation will go to support people fighting all types! This year, we are giving to the American Cancer Society. It’s not too late to join us in the support of hope. You can either buy a Pink Kung Fu sash with a stripe to indicate your rank, purchase a Pink variant of our Uniform T-shirts (regular class or weapons class), or simply donate. Cancer isn’t picky so neither are we. Attached are some mock ups for what the shirts will kinda look like."
Please contact Tacticial Kung Fu directly to support this event and order your shirt!

9/14/2016: Item Found
A lady named Robin Walls, (robin.walls@gmail.com, tel# 919-274-1696) has found an interesting piece of artwork associated with the broken/unbroken lines of the 8 trigrams. She wants to reunite it with its owner. It was found at Jordan Lake on land side. I would describe it but Robin wants whoever may claim it to describe it to her. It is a very original and unusual work of art...
So, anyone missing this or knowing someone who may have, please contact her at the information provided above. If it was lost the owner would appreciate being reunited with it, I'm sure of this!
